When you awake in the morning Geralt is already gone. You quickly change your nightgown to more appropriate attire. Exiting the room you ask Barnabas "BB where is Geralt?".

"Ahh good morning Madame, Master Geralt already left quite early in the morning. Perhaps he didn't want to disturb you from your sleep, he walk rather cautiously in his step to not wake you up." Barnabas informs you as he makes conclusions about what he saw early that day.

"I see... thank you BB, I just haven't informed him that I have to meet Lilith again this afternoon in Beuclair, to return her mare" you glance back at Barnabas with a rather worried expression.

"very well Madame I can inform Sir. Geralt if you must see Madame Lilith if Master is already home that is. Because for now, I have no clue where he is" Barnabas offering you a small solution as for there is nothing else he can do.

"Alright BB, that should be more than enough" you nod, in a graceful manner

"And.. Madame if I may ask, where will you meet Madame Lilith? I believe further information will rest assure Master Geralt even more." Barnabas asks you once more. For it is wise to at least tell him where you will meet, in case something unexpected happens.

"At the adder and jewels winery, I will be there this afternoon" you inform Barnabas, as your worry slowly fades away followed by a warm smile.

"Very well Madame, this will suffice" he nods, as you make your way out of the house.

At the greenhouse you continue to care for the herbs, most of the seeds you plant have grown beautifully. Also noticing a lot has been picked from the top. "let's see... celandine, fool's parsley leaves, wolfsbane, Cortinarius, and honeysuckle. Geralt must have been fighting a lot of werewolves and giants insectoid these days, from the looks of it. I believe he would never forget his swallow potions though." You continue to tend to the garden even though you know there are workers to help you out, but you can never forget your promise to care for him in every way you can.

"Very well this should be enough." You pant a little as you take your watering can and fertilizer, Then put it in near the stable house.

"Madame, you don't have to work yourself. We have many hands to help you" The worker implies worry as you never listen to stop working in the garden.

"It's alright. This garden means a lot to me. If have an opportunity to manage this I will never let it pass, as I will also tend it with my own hands" you smile warmly at the worker assuring her that you are alright and that you are used to this field of work.

"Yes Madame if there is anything you need, I will be here" the vineyard worker answered, then you nod at her proposal.

The sun is high in the sky, and not long you remember your promise to return the black mare to Lilith. "I must go now, returning the mare won't take so much time. I will be back before evening." You whisper to yourself, you continue to pack your items and a couple of crowns into your pocket. Then you ride to Beuclair.
